12-Quart Digital Pressure Cooker | Model MCPR3500 | 21
RELEASING PRESSURE
Whenever the cooking process is complete, the unit will automatically switch to the “KEEP
WARM” mode . At this point, you may opt for NATURAL RELEASE or QUICK PRESSURE RELEASE:
• NATURAL RELEASE:
• QUICK RELEASE:
Leave the unit on the “KEEP WARM” mode after the cooking is complete; the pressure
will naturally drop. The amount of time required for the pressure to naturally drop will
depend on the amount of liquid in the cooker and the length of time the pressure was
maintained for during cooking. Natural release can take from 15 to 30 minutes.
*Please note that despite being in “KEEP WARM” mode, the food will keep on cooking
if you decide to use the natural release method. This release method is recommended
for certain cuts of meat, soups, rice and some desserts.
NEVER ATTEMPT TO OPEN THE LID WHILE PRESSURE COOKING. WAIT FOR ALL PRESSURE TO
ESCAPE AND FOR THE FLOAT VALVE TO SINK PRIOR TO ATTEMPT OPENING THE LID.
Once the unit switches to “KEEP WARM” mode, press the “KEEP WARM/CANCEL”
button to exit the “KEEP WARM” mode. The display will show “0000”.
Using a long utensil or mitts, turn the pressure limiting valve to the exhaust position to
manually release the pressure.
*To avoid splattering, DO NOT use the quick release method for recipes high in liquid
content such as soups, stews and porridges. The quick release method is ideal for
medium to medium-rare results.
NEVER ATTEMPT TO OPEN THE LID WHILE PRESSURE COOKING. WAIT FOR ALL PRESSURE TO
ESCAPE AND FOR THE FLOAT VALVE TO SINK PRIOR TO ATTEMPT OPENING THE LID.
KEEP HANDS AND FACE AWAY FROM THE PRESSURE LIMITING VALVE TO AVOID BURNING
OR SCALDING.
